hey wsup CL

i just installed my BC coils and my tires rub on the plastic piece on top of my tires...do you guys take off the plastic when you guys drop it ??

here's a picture and yes i know its dark haha



thanks

 

try using a heat gun, thats what I did to mine

 

turn the flash on

 

it rubs there when you turn aggressively? or when you drive period.

 

I cut that section of the plastic off. Well, after it rubbed through most of it anyways. You still have to worry about the fender tab that's right behind it too, though.

 

does it just melt ??
my flash was on haha it was during the day
it rubs when i go over dips i havent turned aggressive yet
yeah ..dont kno what to do with that..

i retook the picture

 

dont worry about it..it happens...sooner or later you'll replace your fender liner..

 

it will rub through the liner eventually after driving for a couple days dont worry bout it

 

haha alright thanks guys !

 

I think everyone who's lowered their 2IS rubs. I had rubs on my wheels before I was lowered. If it's gets really bad, you may have to relocate your bumper tab.

 

Is the bumper tab the metal screw that keeps the bumper connected to the fender? If it is, where did you guys relocate it to? Because I think that's the only thing I'm rubbing on right now, even after raising the car a bit. It looks so ugly I wanna go lower D:

 

Yes that's the one.

You must relocate the front bumper tab anytime you lower your car on coils. I pushed mine inside and modified the screw just to have enough clearance for the tires.

Try the search function and type "front bumper tab" and it'll show you threads with pictures on how members did theirs

 

Thanks a bunch! Didn't know what that little piece was called :/

 

Depending on how aggressive your offset is and how low you are will determine if you need to do the bumper tab relocation. If you are on stock wheels and OE tire specs and lowered 2.5" or less...you "should" be fine with just the plastic liner being rubbed to death. At least, this is from my own personal experience. I'm lowered 2.5" all around on BCRs and stock wheels and OE tire specs.

Enjoy the lowered goodness!

 

im lowered on bcrs also but the rubbing is ANNOYING =( im always scared 2 drive up driveways haha
